Navigate the UAE’s transformed tax regime with confidence. Trusted guidance across UAE Corporate Tax, VAT, Free Zone 0% qualification, and India bilateral structuring.
The introduction of Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 on the Taxation of Corporations and Businesses established a 9% headline tax rate for taxable income exceeding AED 375,000. All businesses registered in the UAE — including Free Zone entities — are legally mandated to register and file annual tax returns.
Many business owners mistakenly assume that Free Zone entities are automatically exempt from Corporate Tax. In reality, maintaining Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) status requires strict adherence to qualifying income activities, de minimis thresholds, adequate substance, and arm's length transfer pricing.
We map your revenue streams against Cabinet Decision No. 55 of 2023 to verify whether your income satisfies "Qualifying Activities" and ensure your non-qualifying income stays within the 5% / AED 5M de minimis rule.
